I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

"Now, either you come with me, or you stay home and wait for me obediently."

She was now starving. If she didn't eat, she would faint from hunger without doing anything.

"So, have you thought about it?"

Gu Zexuan glanced at him, and before he could speak, the youngest child next to him took a step forward and walked in front of Bai Qingyao.

"Ah Huai!"

Gu Zexuan looked at Gu Zehuai who actually walked up to Bai Qingyao, and couldn't help but look worried.

What he was most worried about was that Bai Qingyao would attack Gu Zehuai.

Gu Zehuai is only four years old this year, and of course he is dependent on his mother, but Bai Qingyao is not good to them at all, and Gu Zehuai can sense it, but he still yearns for maternal love.

Looking at the skinny little Gu Zehuai walking over, his face was wrinkled, he didn't have much flesh on his body, his hair was slightly yellow, dry and frizzy, it was obvious that he had been lacking nutrition for a long time.

At this moment, Gua Gujinghuai walked up to Bai Qingyao, raised his thin little face, and his eyes were clear and expectant, but there was a hint of fear deep in his eyes.

I was debating whether to go forward.

After thinking for a while, he mustered up the courage and walked up to Bai Qingyao. "Ah...ah, I'll go."

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly remembered that Bai Qingyao didn't allow them to call her mother, and he immediately shrank his neck in fear.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

As she spoke, Bai Qingyao took a step forward, raised her hand and hugged Gu Zehuai in her arms, which scared Gu Zexuan and Gu Zejing.

"Do you want to go?"

Bai Qingyao turned to look at Gu Zexuan and Gu Zejing, and the two kids shook their heads.

"It was my fault before. I listened to the villain and abused you. From now on, I won't do such a thing again. Don't worry."

Gu Zexuan and the others were stunned when they heard this.

"From now on, if you want, you can call me mother."

Seeing this, Bai Qingyao did not force them, and walked out of the house with Gu Zehuai in her arms.

After she left, Gu Zejing looked indignant, "Ah Huai, that little traitor! He still hasn't learned his lesson. Has he forgotten...what she did to us before?"

As the eldest son, Gu Zexuan is only seven years old, but he already knows a lot of things and knows to protect his brothers.

"Ah Huai is only four years old, so he naturally longs for his mother's care."

"But she..."

Gu Zejing's face darkened, "Humph! Who knows what she's up to!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back into the dilapidated house.

When Gu Zexuan heard this, his face was filled with solemnity.

the other side

Bai Qingyao carried Gu Zehuai out of the house. From the moment she picked up the little guy, his eyes fell on her vaguely.

Now as soon as he met her gaze, he instantly retracted his gaze.

"Ahuai, can I call you that?"

Gu Zehuai nodded, then shook his head.

Bai Qingyao guessed what he was thinking.

"It was my fault before. I was deceived. It was not good for you. So, can Ah Huai supervise me from now on?"

Gu Zehuai's gaze fell on Bai Qingyao, a little kid with childishness still in her eyes, but she nodded anyway.

Bai Qingyao smiled and touched his head.

"Thank you, Ah Huai."

Gu Zehuai's face flushed, but his eyes looked at Bai Qingyao brightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Bai Qingyao had just walked out of the Gu family holding him, not far away, when a middle-aged woman came towards them. Seeing her holding Gu Zehuai, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

"Gu Jia, what are you going to do with Ah Huai in your arms?"

Bai Qingyao hadn't noticed her at first, but after hearing her voice, she subconsciously looked over, and ended up meeting her terrified gaze.

It's like watching something scary.

Bai Qingyao: ...

Is she so scary?

Before she could speak, the middle-aged woman opposite continued.

"Gu family, let me tell you, selling children is illegal now, don't do anything rash!"

Bai Qingyao searched through her memory and found the memory of this woman.

The Gu family’s neighbor, Aunt Hua next door, is also particularly caring towards the three little ones.

"Aunt Hua, you misunderstood. I brought Ah Huai out to find something to eat."

Aunt Hua looked at her doubtfully, "Are you serious?"

But what kind of food could there be out there? If there was food, would it be her turn to find it?

"It's true, Aunt Hua." Bai Qingyao was helpless. It was no wonder that others didn't believe her. It was because she had too many criminal records.

Aunt Hua gave her a half-believing, half-doubting look and spoke earnestly, "Gu family, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but since you've married into the Gu family, you're the mother of three children after all. You'll still need them to support you in your old age, so you... should just be more restrained."

"Aunt Hua is right. I was wrong in the past. I won't do the same stupid thing again."

"Even if you feel resentful, you can't...eh?"

Aunt Hua suddenly stopped talking mid-sentence and looked at Bai Qingyao in disbelief. "Gu family, what did you say?"

"Aunt Hua, don't worry. I was blinded in the past. I will change for the better in the future."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late, Aunt Hua, I'll take Ah Huai to find something to eat first. You go ahead and do your work."

Aunt Hua stared at her as she left, not realizing what she said.

After reacting, he muttered to himself, "Gu family, has he changed his nature?"

However, looking at her like this, I don’t know if she is truly repentant. I just hope it is true. The three little ones in the Gu family have suffered so much.

Each of them is only a few years old, their biological father is not around, and their mother is not their biological child. She beats and scolds them at every turn. Sigh...

Bai Qingyao carried Gu Zehuai directly to the rocky beach not far from Dayuan Village.

In her memory, although Dayuan Village was poor, it was fortunately a fishing village.

As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea. Since this place is close to the ocean, there is plenty of seafood to be found.

Moreover, as long as she was near the sea, she would be able to find food and ensure that the three little ones would not starve to death.

Putting Gu Zehuai on the flat beach, "Ahuai, wait here for me. I'll go over and see if there's anything to eat."

Gu Zehuai was stunned for a moment. He had never been here before and was looking around curiously. After hearing Bai Qingyao's words, he nodded.

But looking at Bai Qingyao's actions, he followed with small steps.

He is four years old this year and can walk very steadily. However, this is a beach and the ground is soft, so his balance is unstable and he walks very slowly.

Bai Qingyao was seen holding the small basket she had brought with her and something like a small hammer in her hand, searching everywhere.

He walked over, squatted down with a curious look on his face, looked at the things on the reef, reached out to touch it, but was stopped by Bai Qingyao.

"Ahuai, these things are very sharp, be careful not to get scratched."

After saying that, Bai Qingyao's eyes lit up when she looked at the reef not far away.
